If those things prevent you from making any changes, then that is undoubtedly the beginning of failure.
The mercenary driving the car noticed that something was off, but it was none of his business, and he wasn't interested in getting involved.
As a mercenary, the first priority is to protect yourself, and the second is to protect your employer.
I won't inquire about my employer unless absolutely necessary.
He gets paid by his employer.
Simple and clear.
Don't try to befriend your employer, and don't try to impress them by doing as much work as you're paid for.
Otherwise, in the end, you'll only be the one who suffers.
Mu Shanhai also realized that he had done something wrong, that he had made his expression too obvious.
He could disregard Qi Tianlong's feelings, but he had to care about his daughter's feelings.
Qi Tianlong is right. The matter has already happened and some time has passed, although there is still no solution.
But keeping that long face all the time is undoubtedly a mistake.
This is not only worrying, but there is also no solution available.
Having figured it out, Mu Shanhai sighed heavily, then said to the two of them, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was too sensitive."
Mu Shiyu simply smiled in response.
Qi Tianlong remained calm.
Having figured everything out, Mu Shanhai was no longer so gloomy. He looked at Qi Tianlong and asked, "Although it seems a bit late and impolite of me to ask this now, I still want to know, was your appearance really just a coincidence?"
Mu Shanhai had been wondering about this for a long time, after all, Qi Tianlong's appearance was too coincidental.
When anyone is being chased and thinks they have nowhere to go, someone suddenly appears and rescues them.
At first I was really grateful, but after calming down, I naturally felt that something was wrong.
If it weren't for Qi Tianlong's desperate protection of the father and daughter, which resulted in him being seriously injured, they would have been in serious trouble.
Mu Shanhai would not actually place his trust in Qi Tianlong.
The higher the level of your position, the more you know.
Qi Tianlong's efforts were unnecessary in Mu Shanhai's eyes.
Such a loss would be far too great.
That's why.
On their journey together, another person joined them.
But now, no matter how much I believe in my heart, I still feel uneasy if I don't ask about certain things.
Qi Tianlong was not surprised by Mu Shanhai's words; on the contrary, they were expected.
He glanced at Mu Shiyu, who was looking at him with curiosity, and then looked at the mercenary who was driving seriously.
Qi Tianlong organized his thoughts for a moment, and then said, "I approached you without any purpose; it was more of a coincidence."
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you why I came to southern Xinjiang."
"I doubt you'll tell me what your real purpose is in coming here."
Qi Tianlong's words made Mu Shanhai frown deeply, but he couldn't find any reason to refute them.
Indeed, as Qi Tianlong said.
He would never reveal his true purpose, even though he had openly told Qi Tianlong that he was there to expand the family business.
But clearly, Qi Tianlong didn't believe him.
Otherwise, there would be no need to say it out loud or use those words to refute him.
Qi Tianlong noticed Mu Shanhai's complicated expression.
He just smiled and said, "Don't worry about what I'll do to you. I've already proven to you with my actions whether I'm trustworthy or not. Perhaps, sometimes, there's a connection between us. Otherwise, in such a big place, I wouldn't have met you there."
Qi Tianlong appeared somewhat carefree, while Mu Shanhai's emotions were complex, but this complexity didn't last long. He sighed slightly and said, "So, I can trust you, right?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not saying that your help doesn't deserve our trust, nor is it because I'm too afraid of death, it's just..."
Mu Shanhai glanced at Mu Shiyu, but he didn't want to say what he was going to say next, lest he worry his daughter.
The reason for asking this question again is simply to get a guarantee from Qi Tianlong that he can protect Mu Shiyu.
Mu Shanhai didn't want Mu Shiyu to lose her life because of him.
Qi Tianlong was silent for a moment, then patted Mu Shanhai on the shoulder before looking out the car window.
Looking at the endless expanse of yellow earth, Qi Tianlong calmly replied, "I'll try my best..."
Upon receiving this puzzling reply, Mu Shanhai smiled.
Mu Shanhai seemed very satisfied with this answer.
With that awkwardness gone, Mu Shanhai became more talkative, and the previously somewhat somber atmosphere became more relaxed.
Taking advantage of the fact that the mercenary driving the car couldn't understand Chinese, Mu Shanhai posed another question to Qi Tianlong.
"Mr. Qi, I actually have another question I'd like to ask you."
"What's the problem?"
"You know our current situation, even our route, is best kept secret, but Mr. Qi, you're going to hire mercenaries to escort us. Isn't that..."
The decision to hire mercenaries for escort was not made by Mu Shanhai, but by Qi Tianlong.
When Mu Shanhai first heard about the plan, he refused because it would be too obvious and make it easy for that group of people to find out their whereabouts.
Furthermore, Mu Shanhai didn't believe these mercenaries could protect them.
If danger really arises, it's hard to say whether these mercenaries will run away or not; they might actually be the ones protecting them.
Isn't this just like carrying around a bunch of burdens?
Hearing that Mu Shanhai had asked this question, Qi Tianlong understood what the other was worried about, and couldn't help but smile and reply, "You don't need to worry about this."
Mu Shanhai remained silent, waiting for Qi Tianlong's explanation.
"Actually, whether we hire mercenaries or not doesn't make much difference to us."
"Whether it's exposing their whereabouts or solving problems on their own, it's the same whether they're there or not."
"Ah, this..."
Mu Shanhai was a little confused by these words; it seemed like they had said something, but also like they hadn't.
Qi Tianlong continued, "Mr. Mu, we actually need the protection of mercenaries now. Of course, this protection will not be armed. If any danger arises, I will take you away immediately. I can assure you of that."
Mu Shanhai nodded. Based on what they had said earlier, he trusted Qi Tianlong.
"But Mr. Mu, have you considered how long it would take the three of us to get to where you need to go?"
"...Mr. Qi, what do you mean?"
Qi Tianlong shook his head slightly: "I'm sure you've thought about this too. After all, relying on just the three of us, and to avoid being discovered, the time it would take to travel across this vast expanse of yellow earth would increase several times over. This is extremely dangerous for us."
